As I painted, warm tones like red symbolized my past—painful yet transformative—while cool greens represented the peace and warmth I seek for the future. The empty space in the painting reflects the unknown, a reminder that we can never predict what’s ahead. Each stroke mirrored my personal journey of embracing my past, finding courage, and building a stronger self. Through this process, I realized that what I truly want is a life filled with peace, joy, and the fire of inner warmth, not the pressure of success.
